Takeley Street: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Takeley Street
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, across porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
